ALTERNATIVE NEWSINDIAN ENGINEER HARNESSES ENERGY FROM THE VACUUM
The long sought, zero-point energy -- power from the vacuum of space -- may be about to debuton the world stage. The Indian electrical engineer Paramahamsa Tewari, former director of India's Nuclear Power Corporation, has introduced a novel electrical generator that operates at an astonishing 250% efficiency. Such an 'over unity device' is deemed impossible by conventional scientists.

Artificial Intelligence: Is There Danger Ahead?
Lately, the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI) are setting off alarm bells in many surprising quarters. From Steven Hawking to Bill Gates, from Elon Musk to Steve Wosniak, many of those at the cutting edge of science and technology appear very frightened at the prospect of out-of-control robots turning on their makers.

300,000,000-Year-Old Screw Raises Questions
A fossilized screw found in Russia's Kaluga region is causing plenty of controversy. If the one-inch screw was made by intelligent hands, as it appears to be, that would suggest the presence of some kind of highly advanced civilization on Earth 300 million years ago, completely overturning the conventional science paradigm. Not surprisingly, mainstream science rejects such a notion. The Kaluga screw, they say, is the remains of a tiny sea creature called a Crinoid. Case closed. Or is it?

New Evidence Is Said to Confirm the Historical Jesus
At a time when some scholars question the very existence of the historical Jesus, new research is offering evidence, not only, that Jesus actually lived but that his family tomb can now be firmly identified.

FASTER TRIPS TO MARS
Getting to Mars may still be a few years away, but the time it takes to get there could be getting shorter. Instead of the long months we have been told it would take, it now looks like we may be able to do it in less than forty days, which is something like learning a century and a half ago we could go west in a stagecoach instead of a covered wagon.

Underground Pyramid Near Tiahuanaco's AkapanaPyramid to Be Excavated
A newly discovered buried pyramid near Tiahuanaco in Bolivia is about to be excavated. Located just east of the giant Akapana pyramid, the site promises to bring new questions to bear on an area already rich in ancient and unexplained enigmas. Located by means of ground-penetrating radar, the pyramid is near a number of other underground anomalies, said possibly to be monoliths. The government of Bolivia announced its excavation plans in March. By the time you read this, the first phase should be underway.

Prehistoric Engineering Put Back to Work in Peru
In a time of growing water crises throughout the world, could the answers we need come from our ancient ancestors? In Lima, Peru, at least, that could be a 'yes.' For a giant desert city, shortages of water are nothing new. In fact, they are ancient, and now, it turns out that an ancient legacy could help solve a modern problem and save some money in the process.

Pre-Ice-Age Civilization in Indonesia
The story of ice-age civilization in Indonesia is finally getting noticed by the mainstream press. In April, Britain's Daily Mail reported on the claims of Indonesian archaeologist Danny Hilmanto locating the ruins of a lost civilization in Gunung Padang, going back an astonishing 20,000 years. If Hillman is right, the site could predate Stonehenge in England by 16,000 years and even Gobekli Tepe in Turkey by around 8000 years.

PROTOSCIENCEFree Energy...Gravity Control...Alternative Science...Fighting Back Against Catastrophic DroughtBy Jerry Decker
In the last issue of Atlantis Rising we spoke about the benefits of structured water, but in much of the world now, the ordinary kind of water that all of us need to survive is becoming very hard to come by.

Conserving water in California isn't optional anymore. In April, Governor Jerry Brown announced there will be mandatory water cut backs in the drought stricken state for the first time in history.

Catastrophic water scarcity is already here in many places, including India. Corporations and farmers have been consuming surface water there, and ground-water levels have been dropping. At the same time, according to a new report by the World Resources Institute, water pollution is increasing rapidly.

THE FORBIDDEN ARCHAEOLOGISTEthiopian Jawbone, First Human? Not ReallyBy Michael Cremo
In March of 2015, some of my correspondents called my attention to reports that scientists had discovered a fragment of a "human" lower jaw in Ethiopia. The fossil was found in deposits 2.8 million years old. My correspondents suggested that this discovery supported my idea of extreme human antiquity. It is easy to understand why they thought so. Pallab Ghosh, science correspondent for BBC News (Science & Environment), in the first line of his web report (March 4, 2015), stated, "Scientists have unearthed the jaw-bone of what they claim is one of the very first humans." Similar statements were made in other reports.

Here's the problem: when most scientists today use the word "human" in this context,they do not mean humans like us, anatomically modern humans. They mean some barely human like ancestor of the modern human type. Their absolute faith in the idea that humans like us evolved from some primitive apelike ancestors demands that such intermediates exist.

ALTERNATIVE SCIENCEThe Artificial Intelligence ThreatHow Smart Can Our Machines Become?By STEPHEN ROBBINS, Ph.D.
Humanity faces a crisis. At the rapid rate Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing, we will quickly reach the point of Ray Kurzweil's "Singularity" -- the point where AI equals human intelligence. Then AI will proceed beyond-- to "Superintelligence." The super intelligent AI will be so smart they will have the capability to destroy their creators. Unless, as a new theme in the AI world argues, we learn to impart human values to these machines -- a process (the "values loading problem" ) now seen as extremely tricky -- we are toast. Yup, like toast, we will be eaten for breakfast. Maybe we last until lunch.

LOST HISTORYAtlantis & EzkielWas His 'Tyrus' the Fabled Lost City? By DAVID HERSHISER
In her 1888 theosophical treatise, The Secret Doctrine, Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky made the startling assertion that Ezekiel's account of Tyrus from the Old Testament was actually about Atlantis. A search of the literature on Atlantis reveals little or no information on this idea, nor does a review of modern Bible commentaries and other interpretative works. The New Interpreter's Bible (NIB), an encyclopedic reference intended primarily for clergy, provides a line-by-line interpretation of the entire Bible, along with overviews and summaries for each chapter. It's not surprising to learn that thereis no mention of Atlantis, or Madame Blavatsky for that matter, in any of the commentaries on Tyrus or Ezekiel. The scholarly consensus on Tyrus is that Ezekiel was referring to the Phoenician city-state of Tyre, the site of which still exists on the coast of modern-day Lebanon, about 50 miles south of Beirut.

Blavatsky's assertion about Tyrus sounds ridiculous in light of the commentaries. But a careful study of what is actually written about Tyrus in the Old Testament will lead to some intriguing observations.

THE OTHER SIDECats that Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home, and MoreInvestigating the Secrets of the CatBy FRANK JOSEPH more...
While walking my Norwegian Forest Cat last September, I wondered why he had not climbed a single tree all summer. The thought had no sooner crossed my mind, than Sammy suddenly sprang up the nearest oak. Coincidence, telepathy, or something else? Many, if not most, feline fanciers have experienced similar occurrences, but few fully appreciate their pets' broad range of extraordinary abilities.

CONTRARY OPINIONWikipedia and the Slant FactorHow Much Should You Rely on the Free Online Encyclopedia?By MARTIN RUGGLES
In the age of the Internet, everyone has access to facts and information as never before. Or do they? While it is true that a diligent researcher can uncover vast quantities of information on just about any subject, just how reliable is it? Now, it turns out, one of the most relied upon sources of Internet information could be something quite different from its billing.

ALTERNATIVE SCIENCEIntelligent Design -- the EvidenceCan the Neo-Darwinists Explain Our World, or Not?By WILLIAM B. STOECKER
The prevailing and most popular explanation for the panoply of life on Earth and the emergence of speciesis the theory of evolution or, to be more precise, neo-Darwinism, an updated version of Charles Darwin's theory claiming that random variation and natural selection could explain how species became extinct and were replaced by new, but often similar species. He put forth his theory in two major works, Origin of Species (1859), and The Descent of Man (1871). Another English naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, developed essentially the same theory at almost exactly the same time, and he and Darwin actually published a joint paper on the subject; and Darwin, to his credit, always acknowledged Wallace's contribution. Very general theories of evolution had been developed before, including one produced by Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, but Charles Darwin went further,attempting to explain what actually caused new species to develop. He believed that random variation among offspring (which he could not explain, since the science of genetics had yet to be born, and no one had heard of mutation) produced individuals who had traits enabling them to survive and produce more of their kind, and others who did not. Over eons of time, tiny incremental changes would produce new species. Darwinism, for many, replaced Biblical creationism.

ANCIENT MYSTERIESWhat's in a Name? Archeolinguistics and the Lost History of Planet EarthBy SUSAN MARTINEZ, Ph.D
Although we might sometimes think of science and religion as at odds, at loggerheads, there are times when they work together. Unfortunately, when it comes to the origins of civilization, they combine to uphold a myth. I refer to the great fable of Mesopotamia as the cradle of mankind's high culture. To this day, every school child is taught that civilization began there, in the Fertile Crescent, today's Iraq (between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers) about seven or eight thousand years ago, claiming that before then only simple hunter-gatherers-- cavemen, if you will -- filled the landscape.

LOST HISTORYEaster Island Dogma Gets a RewriteStartling New Evidence Is Creating Serious Problems for the Paradigm ProtectorsBy ROBERT M. SCHOCH, PH.D.
A modern myth has developed around Easter Island (Rapa Nui) along the following lines. Once upon a time there was an isolated and uninhabited volcanic island in the South Pacific. A thousand or so years ago a group of people from the region of modern French Polynesia stumbled upon this small plot of land (just over 63 square miles) during a sailing voyage. Perhaps they were driven from their homeland by population pressures or political turmoil, or simply blown off course. Whatever the case, they decided to make it their home. Here they lived in "Splendid Isolation" (the title of an exhibition of Easter Island art held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2001 2002) until "discovered" on Easter Sunday, 1722, by a fleet of three Dutch ships under the command of Jacob Roggeveen

ALTERNATIVE SCIENCEThe Coming of the ClonesThe Return of the Woolly Mammoth and Other Disturbing 'Scientific' ExperimentsBy PATICK MARSOLEK
In March, a group of South Korean and Russian scientists working through the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation announced that they were actively working onc loning a Woolly Mammoth. Continuing advances in genetic research mean scientists may be closer than ever to realizing this strange dream. The Sooam group is working with DNA extracted from the amazingly well-preserved Mammoth that was recovered in 2013 on the Siberian island of Maly Lyakhovsky. While this Mammoth, nick-named "Buttercup," was being excavated from the permafrost, a thick, red, fluid flowed out of its abdomen. This fluid contained some of the best preserved genetic material yet recovered from an extinct species.

LOST HISTORYKnights Templar and The Much-Traveled Head of JOHN THE BAPTISTAmong Holy Relics, This One Stands OutBy STEVEN SORA
During the Crusades, the Templars earned a reputation for bringing home treasures that had been hidden away in both Jerusalem's Temple of Solomon and Constantinople. No one denies the Templars were fierce in battle,often facing enemies vastly superior in size, yet they were often plunderers on land and pirates at sea; and they brought back jewels, bullion, and spices. The Templars uncovered,s ome believe, the so-called Copper Scroll which listed sixty-four treasure stashes, but it was the sacred plunder that may have been the most important.

It has been claimed that the Templars returned to France with the Ark of theCovenant, the Holy Grail, the Mandylion -- which may have been the Shroud of Turin -- and possibly the most significant treasure of all, the skull of John the Baptist.

LOST HISTORYReturn of the GnosticsHow the Dark AgesCame to an EndBy GRAHAM HANCOCK & ROBERT BAUVAL
In the summer of 1460, shortly before the last embers of the Bogomil faith were stamped out by Sultan Mehmed II's invasion of Bosnia, a Tuscan monk named Leonardo da Pistoia rode into Florence on a donkey. He had been away for several months on a dangerous mission to Macedonia for his learned and immensely wealthy master, Cosimo de'Medici, the Doge of Florence, who employed him to procure rare and ancient writings. Already a vast library of extraordinary scrolls, codices, and books had been built up. Yet Leonardo knew that Cosimo would remain dissatisfied until he had in his hands certain very specific and once widely circulated books suppressed by the Church and lost to the world for close to a thousand years. Cosimo was convinced that these books must still exist somewhere -- and had ordered Leonardo to seek them out and buy them no matter what the cost.

DVDTravel to Mars on the CheapIs There Another Way to Get Our Questions About the Red Planet Answered?By Marsha Oaks
According to recent news, any space flight to Mars will leave the astronauts in a state of dementia. This is likely to be the consequence of long exposure to interstellar radiation. Does that mean Mars travel iso ut? Maybe so. But maybe there is another way to get there. Maybe we can do it without leaving the comforts of Earth.

REMOTE VIEWING CYDONIA, MARSFarsight Institute
In the best selling DVD, Life on Mars, Dr. Tom Van Flanders, former Chief Astronomer for the United States Naval Observatory, presented photos taken by the Mars Global Surveyor which showed, apparently, structures -- - monuments, T-shaped craters, gigantic glass-tube systems, ancient forest remains, etc.-- - that he said were stunning proof that Mars once was inhabited by an intelligent civilization. Meanwhile, investigators, exploring the ancient and mysterious stone and cliff monuments of Peru, have come up with amazing evidence for an ancient, advanced culture from the stars.

HOW THE GREAT PYRAMIDWAS BUILTSteven Myer
One of the great riddles of the ages -- how the Great Pyramid was constructed -- is now answered. That, at least, is what researcher Steven Myers argues on this DVD. This is, according to Myers, a paradigm shift from conventional thought. The idea that the Great Pyramid's blocks were floated into place through an ingenious system of locks, did not originate with Myers, however, and he gives the credit to Edward Kunkel, a visionary who dedicated his entire adult life to research on the Great Pyramid, developing his astounding and original theory as to its construction and purpose. Kunkel's research and findings were first presented in his book, Pharaoh's Pump (now out of print), but his work lives on through the efforts of Steven Myers and the Pharaoh's Pump Foundation. Long-time Atlantis Rising readers may remember reading about Kunkel in past issues, including the interview by J. Douglas Kenyon of Richard Noone in AR#14, where Noone decdribed the Kunkel theory. In AR#56, Frank Joseph reviewed Kunkel's work in "The Great Pyramid, Plumbing the Deeper Waters."
